Nice review. One small correction... " As the latest Bapu Bomma, she has a ball." Change this to "she is a ball". She is not the exact image a "Bapu bomma" strikes in ur mind: Slender, with long hair etc... not the perfect telugu girl to be called a "Baapu Bomma"
Sundarakanda is a Bapu work in the genre of Pelli Pustakam - more poetry than prose, with plenty of compromise in grammar for the sake of rhyme. But Pelli Pustakam had a much more compelling theme - a newly-married couple forced to fake being single while living in the same house -, great performers, many awwww scenes and credible storyline, while Sundarakanda unfortunately lacks any of them.
Sure, the story, if narrated in one line, can sound equally promising - a young girl goes to find her rich father who’s deserted her mother soon after marriage, and uses her intelligence ....
